After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Hornets pulled away from the Kings 121-104. Hornets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.

- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
